Dev-Pascal Compile Problems

    Hi All,

    I am trying out Dev-Pascal and I like the IDE, but I keep getting compile errors when I try to build a test program. The errors are:
    c:\dev_gpc\bin\gpc: gpc\lib\gcc-lib\mingw32\2.95.3-6\: No such file or directory
    c:\dev_gpc\bin\gpc: installation problem, cannot exec `gpcpp': No such file or directory

    My settings are:
    bin:c:\dev_gpc\bin\ units:c:\dev_gpc\units;
    libs:c:\dev_gpc\lib\;c:\dev_gpc\lib\gcc-lib\mingw32\2.95.3-6\; c:\dev_gpc\lib\gcc-lib\mingw32\2.95.3-6\units\; \

    I also set my path to the bin directory of dev pascal

    I am running it on Windows 98.

    Any advice, help, guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance,

    Carl

      Hi Everyone:

      Sorry :-( I've been kind of busy today so I'm just now getting around to going online.

      I've never seen this exact error with Dev-Pascal. However, it looks to me like an installation problem. My advice is to completely uninstall Dev-Pascal from your computer and reinstall it.

      It would appear to me that you have the GNU version of Dev-Pascal. I've had alot of problems with that version myself, so I use the Free Pascal version most of the time. If you continue to have problems with this version, you may want to download the Free Pascal version instead.

      Anyway, let me know how it goes.

      See Ya

      Hi,

      Downloaded Free Pascal and the version of Dev Pascal without a compiler and got it set up. It is working great so far.

      Now, can someone point me to a guide for programming Win 32 with Pascal if there is such a thing ( I guess Delphi would be the better option but I wanted to try it the hard way first)

      Thanks Butch for your help and advice,
      Carl

      Sorry about the second post, having trouble with my connection.

        Carl,

        When in doubt, do not repost for 30 minutes.

        p.s. There are only a few Dev-Pascal users here, so it may take a bit to get your question seen by the right people.

      Thanks Butch,

      I've tried everything, uninstalling, re-installing and nothing seems to help. Now I get errors in my resource file saying there's an undefined esc sequence or something like that.

      I'll try the FreePascal version

      Thanks for your help and I'll let you know what happens.

      Carl
